Substrate for liquid crystal display having multiple terminals connected to semiconductor chip, and liquid crystal display having the same

Abstract

There is provided a substrate for a liquid crystal display with which static damage to TFT devices can be prevented and a thin frame can be achieved, a liquid crystal display having the same, and a method of manufacturing the same. Terminal sections to which signals are input from the outside and terminal sections for outputting the signals to driver ICs are constituted by a conductive layer different from gate bus lines and a common wiring. Thus, the gate bus lines can be connected to the common wiring through connection wirings even when the common wiring is provided in a location that is removed at a chamfering step. This makes it possible to prevent TFT devices from being damaged by static electricity up to the chamfering step. There is no increase in steps for manufacturing a TFT substrate. Further, since area limitations are reduced by forming the terminal sections, connection wirings and the common wiring as a plurality of conductive layers, it is easy to lay out wirings on the TFT substrate and design a thin frame at a designing step.
